Suited Assessment, What you ought to know
I recently took the Suited assessment and, to my surprise, passed. Since there arent any recent posts and its a popular prescreen for some shops (Centerview, PJT Partners, HL, Baird), here's what you should know to prepare.
The assessment has three timed sections, and a fit section that asks you about statements that best describe you
1. Pattern recognition — You're given a numerical/alphabetical series with a list of possible matches and have to determine the correct option. These are pretty inconsistent so you have to really pay attention
Example: JttR7DF41!
Jttr7DF41! , JttR7DF411, JttR7DF41! JttR7Df41!, JttR7DF41'
2. Logic (quantifiers) — You're given premises using words like "all," "no," "some," and "if...then," then asked to mark a list of derived statements as True, False, or Uncertain based on formal logic (not intuition).
Example: "All employees of Department 4 are employees of Company B." From this, "Some employees of Department 4 are not employees of Company B" is False — it directly contradicts the premise — while "No employees of Company B are employees in Department 4" is only Uncertain, since the premise doesn't rule out overlap.
3. Math/sequence completion — Similar to pattern recognition but framed as filling in a missing number in a straightforward numeric progression, often under time pressure.
Example: 2, 4, 8, __, 32, 64, 128, 256
(each term doubles, so the answer is 16)
The biggest thing that helped me: don't assume every series is a single simple rule. A lot of them are two sequences interleaved, or a repeating cycle of differences, so if the obvious pattern doesn't fit cleanly, check every other term separately before moving on.
Thanks for sharing. How do you know you passed? Did the companies move you forward? I just took it and don't see any indication.
